PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Abdul Rashid Naji (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anderson Da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Da Silva has chosen Drowning Pool - Bodies (Let The Bodies Hit The Floor) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
